Hungary’s medical Semmelweis University has joined the ranks of the world’s top higher education institutions in 14 fields on the list of Best Global Universities compiled by US News, Béla Merkely, the university’s rector, said.

Semmelweis University has jumped 12 places since last year to 31st in the field of cardiac and cardiovascular systems, Merkely told public television M1, underscoring the ranking’s importance at the international level, as cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death worldwide.

The university ranks ahead of several hundred American and European institutions in this field, including Stockholm’s Karolinska Institutet, Sorbonne University, King’s College London, Boston University and the University of Washington, Merkely said.

He also mentioned systematic developments undertaken at Semmelweis University over the last 15 years, including infrastructure and human resources upgrades at the Városmajor Cardiovascular Clinic.
